Rice said she was impressed by Marines actions during the training exercise, saying it showed their determination to accomplish their mission.
Somebody has to go after these people, and Americans shouldnt do it alone, he added. Our determination knows no bounds.
Downer said he and his fellow Australians were deeply grateful to U.S. Marines and sailors for leading the charge against terror.
COLOR ME PISSED.

“Rice said she was impressed by Marines actions during the training exercise, saying it showed their determination to accomplish their mission.
It was a tremendous demonstration of skill, she said. It was very professional. “
Uhhh.... duh. What did she think it would be? Like little kids playing hide and seek???

By the sound of your childish attitude, it seems like you’d enjoy a game of hide and seek.

I appreciate the fact that she took time out of her busy schedule to meet and thank the Marines at Pendleton, and to see how they train. What I would like, is to see her STAND UP for the Marines who do their job as the professionals that they are, and who are then are accused of being “cold blooded murderers” by a Congressman who leaked info before an investigation was completed, based on lies by Iraqis with ties to the insurgency.

Fantastic photos!
A pal from Oz told me this morning (US time) that the people of Oz LOVE the USMC, and have a favorite saying about Oz’s special relationship with the USMC:
“The US Marines saved Australia [during WWII], and the Australian Coast Watchers saved the US Marines.”

... the care and consideration Marines showed toward noncombatants and those who may fall victim to insurgent aggression.
There is a lot of sensitivity to human rights, Downer said. I was impressed with their compassion.
